Dredging

A customer came to Rj Link Int. needing a solution to an existing gearbox that was more flexible, controllable, and robust to meet the vigorous requirements of their dredging application which was being used for river, pond, and coastal area projects. The lack of flexibility in their existing gearbox hampered the company’s ability to serve their customer, and limited the scope of work that they could get done.  This made it a challenge for the company to grow in the new market segment, and fulfill the project specifications in a timely manner.

Solution/Results:

• Rj Link’s engineering team came up with a two speed industrial grade gearbox
• Auxiliary gearbox drive would be more controllable to adhere to a dredge pump
• Greater control of speed and depth for the dredge pump
• Improved operation performance
• Improved flexibility control of the pumping distance
• Helped control cost & enabled company to increase market share
